How to participate in the Annual General Meeting A WORD FROM THE CHAIRMAN Your Annual General Meeting Dear Madam, Dear Sir, Dear Shareholder, In the context of the unprecedented crisis that we are going through and that marked the year 2020, your support and loyalty are precious assets for Groupe Renault. They are also an encouragement to continue and accelerate our rebuilding, which has been largely initiated both at the Group level and at the level of the Renault-Nissan- Mitsubishi Alliance, whose foundation has been consolidated and whose operating mode has been clarified. Our Annual General Meeting of April 23 will be an ideal opportunity to put this long-term work into perspective, which is being carried out in parallel with the cost-cutting plan launched in May 2020. This plan, which is difficult but necessary, has been steered by Clotilde Delbos, whose work I would like to acknowledge, and has been implemented through exemplary dialogue with the social partners and local authorities. Our Chief Executive Officer, Luca de Meo, will be talking about the Renaulution plan, which was unveiled a few weeks ago. Renaulution reflects the depth of our transformation, as it evolves both our strategy and our business model. We will also present our actions in the areas of energy transition and CSR, as well as Groupe Renault’s Raison d’Être. Reflecting our values and convictions, our Raison d’Être will be a force for accompanying the ambitious and proactive transformation of our Group. Lastly, the Board of Directors is continuing the renewal process begun in 2019, and we will be pleased to welcome three new candidates at our Shareholders’ Meeting: on the one hand, Noël Desgrippes as a director representing employee shareholders; on the other hand, Bernard Delpit and Frédéric Mazzella as independent directors. The Board’s skills will thus be enriched by their notable experience and expertise, particularly in finance, digital and mobility. In this document, you will find the practical details of how to participate in the Annual General Meeting, as well as a presentation of the agenda and the resolutions that will be submitted to your vote. In view of the COVID-19 epidemic, our meeting will again be held in closed session, without the physical presence of shareholders and other persons entitled to attend . I therefore invite you to vote remotely and before the Annual General Meeting. To encourage participation in this privileged moment of exchange with you, we will renew the possibility of sending us questions before and during the Annual General Meeting on our website. The section dedicated to the Annual General Meeting (https://group.renault.com/en/finance-2/general-meeting/ ) will be regularly updated to provide you with the latest information about this event. Thank you for your confidence. Jean-Dominique Senard Chairman of Renault GROUPE RENAULT I COMBINED GENERAL MEETING - APRIL 23, 2021 3 I.
